The revelation of Yuki Nakamura as Master Sung's brother sent everyone gasping in shock—except Kyujiro.
"Isn't he the one who sent the letter?" Ryder asked. "Does that mean that the Yuki Nakamura guy, who is also the guild leader, is of the same blood as you?"
"Is that even a question?" Master Sung responded, his voice dripping with a kind of negative emotion no one could decipher. He began walking calmly towards Captain Kyujiro, each step deliberate and measured. "I can't call him my brother anymore. In the present, let's say—he was my brother."
"I no longer view him as someone worthy of my care and affection," Master Sung continued, inching closer to Kyujiro with each word. "I've always kept my distance from him for the reason of guaranteeing peace and safety for both me and my guild."
Captain Kyujiro's grin had never wavered, almost as if he knew the whole story beforehand. "Distance from him, you say," he repeated, as if the word amused him.
